Mrs. Censor was so moved that she stepped forward and took Lin Nanyi's hand, looking very familiar with her.
"This is Miss Baifu, she is really graceful and graceful, like a hibiscus.
Fu'er, come here quickly and meet your sister."
Mrs. Censor quickly called to the girl behind her to come forward.
The girl named Fu'er came forward and saluted Lin Nan directly. No matter who was older, her sister was very smooth with her name.
"Sister, we should keep in touch with each other more in the future. I feel like I feel like old friends at first sight."
Lin Nan smiled euphemistically and nodded, and looked at each other with Zuo. Is it really true that after meeting for the first time, they already felt like they were the same as before?
The helplessness in Zuo's eyes was obvious. This is the kind of situation where words are meant to be spoken, so don't take it to heart.
Mrs. Xu, the censor's wife, led the group of them to the backyard. Not many people came at this time. They gathered around in twos and threes and talked. When they saw them coming, they immediately fell silent and stood up to salute.
"Mrs. Zuo, Miss Bai."
Everyone didn't know Lin Nanyi's name, so naturally they had to call her Miss Bai.
Zuo usually nodded and gave a half salute, but Lin Nanyi, in order not to be offended, always gave a full salute like everyone else.
If she only came here on her behalf today, then it wouldn't matter, but behind her today were the Bai family, the Zuo family, and her godfather and godmother. She had to be careful every step of the way so that no one could get a handle on her.
There should be no chance for them to slander the Bai family.
Zuo told her that no one in Kyoto wished the Bai family well, because the status of the Bai family in the minds of students all over the world was too high, even higher than that of the current emperor.
To be honest, which emperor would allow his reputation to be lower than that of a minister?
Under the emperor's feet, one must be cautious. One wrong step may lead to abyss, so she cannot follow her own ideas and must take the Bai family and the Zuo family as the main ones.
Zuo took her and introduced them one by one. She knew that Zuo was paving the way for her, otherwise an official position like censor wouldn't be enough for Zuo to bother so much.
After the introduction, Lin Nan couldn't remember much despite her efforts, but it didn't matter. She was going back in the afternoon anyway. When she returned to Qinghe Town, she wouldn't see anyone, so it didn't matter.
The backyard of the Censor's Mansion was very large, with a large garden and many rare varieties of flowers. Zuo liked it, so Lin Nanyi stayed with her for a long time.
I stopped until my calves were sore in the end.
A nanny came to invite Zuo. She said that Mrs. Censor was in a hurry, so Zuo went first.
Lin Nanyi and Bai Yi Baiyin were left wandering aimlessly in the garden.
Walking to a rockery, the conversation behind the rockery made Lin Nan stop and accidentally became an eavesdropper.
There were several female voices behind the rockery, and none of them seemed to have seen Lin Nanyi, because she was the protagonist of this chat.
Lin Nan recalled that there were not many people there when he saw the gift just now. He thought they came later, so he didn't see her.
"I heard that the young lady from the Bai family is just a wild girl. Someone checked her out and found that she grew up in a village. She is no better than the rest of us."
"It's because we arrived late. We heard from her sisters that she looks pretty good, but she really doesn't look like a daughter of a noble family."
When Lin Nan heard the first sentence, she couldn't help but nod in agreement, but the second sentence made her frown.
"Hey! Just ask her what kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting she is proficient in, and we are not proficient in it. Why should we compare ourselves with such unworthy people?"
Why is this voice so familiar? Lin Nanyi and Bai Yi Baiyin looked at each other. This voice sounded like the man who spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a writing brush that day.
Bai Yi's eyes asked if he should step forward to stop her. After all, it would be hard for her to hold back discussing her young lady in such an open and honest manner, okay?
Lin Nan waved her hand. She came here today to discuss things with others. This circle has not incorporated new people for more than ten years.
She suddenly appeared, and she was still in the Bai family, so how could she not be discussed.
What's more, what they said is all true. She is from the village and does not have the temperament of a daughter of everyone. As long as she does not slander the Bai family and the Zuo family, this grievance is nothing.
The discussion among several people became even more enjoyable, and their voices were amplified unscrupulously.
"What are you doing? It's fun to gossip about people behind their backs, isn't it? How about going to the street and letting everyone gossip about you, and try how it feels to be the target of public criticism?"
A powerful and majestic female voice came out, and everyone fell silent, but a few moments later there was another disdainful voice.
"Miss General, don't think that just because you have been on the battlefield a few times, you think you are great. I, the young lady of the Taibao Mansion, am not just for you to yell at at will."
"Oh, Miss Taibaofu? It's a big joke that a concubine can be considered a lady. It seems that the upbringing of Taibaofu is not very good. She can even talk nonsense about people behind their backs. It seems that
When I go back, I have to let my father have a good talk with the emperor's uncle, and we cannot encourage this kind of trend."
As we all know, the relationship between General Zhenguo and the emperor is very good, and he has a very stubborn temper. As long as he wants to marry someone, he will dig you out of the grave even if you die.
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to speak anymore. They looked at each other and left in a hurry.
Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when she heard this. How could there be such a fun girl? If she had a chance in the future, she would definitely meet this girl.
But now, she doesn't want to expose herself yet, so let's forget it this time.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
"who?"
The female voice came again, and Lin Nan saw her lightly crossing the rockery and landing straight in front of her.
When Bai Yi and Bai Yin saw this, they quickly stood in front of Lin Nanyi. There was no way they could let the young lady get hurt again.
"Who are you?"
Cheng Henglan looked at her sternly. It seemed that the Censor's Mansion needed to be rectified. There were waves of people who listened to gossips.
"I just passed by."
Lin Nan smiled sarcastically, wondering if this person had a good ear. How could he listen so well?
"Tell me, I won't let you go until you tell me."
Cheng Henglan approached her and looked at her fiercely.
Sure enough, he was indeed a young general who had returned from the battlefield, but his temperament was not comparable to that of ordinary people like them.
"You don't need to know who I am. It's not important. What's important is you. I like your character very much. I was also about to step forward to stop them from gossiping about people behind their backs, but you were one step ahead of me."
Lin Nan smiled with crooked eyebrows. If there was a chance, she would definitely make friends with her.
Cheng Henglan looked at her in disbelief.
Why can't she believe how cunning this girl looks?
Just as she was about to speak, someone called her from a distance, "Miss Cheng, the general's wife is looking for you and asks you to hurry up."
Cheng Henglan thought of her mother's bad temper. If she didn't hurry up and wait until she returned to the General's Mansion, she would have to eat her good fruit.
Without finishing his unspoken words, he stepped away directly.
"let's go."
Lin Nanyi left after Cheng Henglan walked away.
From here to the place where the banquet is held, you have to pass by a bamboo forest, which is very quiet and comfortable.
There were several small pavilions in the bamboo forest. Lin Nan felt at ease listening to the sound of bamboo leaves, so he stayed here for a while.
Before I could fully appreciate the scenery, trouble came knocking on my doorstep again.
The voices of several women came from the front, and Lin Nan felt they were very familiar. When she turned her head and looked, they were exactly the people who were talking about her behind the rockery just now.
Oops! It’s like we’re on opposite sides of the road!
Lin Nanyi didn't say anything. It would be better to do less than to do more. She would just wait a little longer and wait until these people left before leaving.
She didn't have the energy to make trouble with them today.
But as long as she doesn't say that she is from the Bai family, these people probably won't pay attention to her.
"It's you?"
A sharp female voice came, and Lin Nan couldn't help but cover his ears.
It's so noisy!
Zhong Xiaoqin shook off the hand holding her little sister and stepped forward, "You can actually attend such a banquet? Ha, you embarrassed me so much last time, and today I finally found you."
Zhong Xiaoqin was about to take action as she spoke. Lin Nan was not worried at all. With Bai Yi and Bai Yin by her side, could she still be bullied?
joke!
Baiyin firmly held her hand that was raised high and ready to fall.
Make Zhong Xiaoqin unable to move.
It turned out that she was the one who was gossiping behind the rockery. Lin Nanyi suddenly felt that she could no longer forgive him.
"Miss, what do you mean?"
Lin Nan took a sip of the tea on the table, the coldness on his face showing.
"That day you made me embarrassed in front of everyone, today I will tear off your face and let everyone see how embarrassed you are."
Shameful? Shameful?
stupidly can not tell.
Lin Nan couldn't help but raise his hand to caress his cheek. It must have been painful to tear off the skin.
"How did I embarrass you? What day was it? Where was it? Time, place and person? Who can testify?"
When Lin Nan saw the confused looks on other people's faces, he concluded that Zhong Xiaoqin had not told anyone else about this.
What's so scary about that? Even if everyone knows it, she's not afraid.
Zhong Xiaoqin blushed and couldn't say a word.
As soon as Lin Nan successfully choked her, she felt very happy.
"I don't care, I say you are who you are."
"Who are you? Do you dare to say such big words?"
Lin Nan was about to laugh in anger. There is no need to look down upon such a casual and reckless person.
"You don't even know the third lady of the current Taibao family?"
The people behind Zhong Xiaoqin made a sound in surprise.
No wonder he dared to embarrass her.
From the Taibao family? The concubine that the woman just mentioned?
"The concubine of the Taibao family?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but speak.
Oh ho!
After saying that, Lin Nan quickly covered his mouth, damn it! Why did he just say what was in his heart?
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Zhong Xiaoqin was about to explode. Being a concubine was the identity she hated most in her life. She was obviously proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the word "concubine" made her fall behind the legitimate daughter and was unable to show her talents.
"Ah~! I'm going to kill you."
Her eyes were red with anger, and she rushed towards Lin Nan.
Lin Nan quickly moved his feet to the side. Fortunately, the hem of the skirt was not stained, otherwise it would be a pity to make such a good material!
